Sidebar
A sidebar is a vertical panel that provides easy access to navigation links, extra options, or supplementary details.
The sidebar typically appears along the left or right edge of an interface, creating a space for secondary controls and content. By grouping related links or functionality, it helps users quickly reach sub-areas of the app or site without cluttering the main content.
Designers use the sidebar for deeper navigation, advanced settings, or contextual information that doesn’t merit a separate page. By staying fixed or collapsible, it remains accessible when needed, yet maintains a clean layout for the core content.
